CPAN.pm has shipped as part of core perl since time immemorial - so it's
certainly officially recommended.

Perl is going this path - the new Module::Build system which is steadily
gaining popularity for new modules (mine included) is Makefile-free, as opposed
to the older 'perl Makefile.PL; make; make test; make install' installation
style. CPAN.pm currently handles both, and I think it might be nice if we had
a single tool to install both guile-only and guile-plus-C modules as well.
